I like em both, and multi-tools, and machetes, and axes, and swords, and guns. Wish I could carry them all, but that is too much weight, unfortunately I work with scientists, and office ladies, and other people from all over the world on a daily basis, no one even knows really that I have a folder on me at all times, and if was to wear a fixed blade all the time, I would pretty much have to wear a coat all the time, could freak out some of the less Saavy, and it is too hot in Texas to always be wearing a coat, but I am not above carrying an Automatic knife or a Balisong, if I want to feel extra "Bad-ass" that day. I do keep a fixed blade in my truck, my 3-day "Get Home Bag", and in my briefcase, "just cause".
